Have your friend consult with a hand surgeon. Laser procedures for Dupuytren's are available and appear quite satisfactory.

It does sound that biking is no longer safe for your friend who should look for medical attention to have his contracture treated first. Good hand coordination is critical for biking or operating heavy machinery and Dupuytren' s contracture can definitely interfere.
